Bayer Seeks Three-Week Delay for $7.25B Roundup Settlement Hearing
Bayer’s Monsanto unit and plaintiffs’ lawyers asked the court to delay approval of a proposed $7.25 billion Roundup settlement by three weeks, moving the hearing to September 10 from August 19. The extra time would help handle opt-out requests. Bayer said glyphosate is safe and the deal would resolve most U.S. Roundup cases, though it would not proceed if too many opt out.
